I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 36 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-age children. At the end of the day, he would 37 his taxi on the road. I 38 why he did not park it in the garage.

　　Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 39 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 40 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 41 .

　　I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 42 to be outside one evening two weeks 43 , when the garage door was 44 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce(勞斯萊斯)!

We should focus more on 55 we are than what we do!
